The appearance of silica gel water cups can be said to refresh our understanding of water cups. For the traditional glass and stainless steel cup, the biggest change of silica gel water cup is the soft body, when not in use, the cup can be contracted, save space, easy to carry, save physical strength; when used, it is not easy to be damaged, very durable.
Because of the brittleness of glass, if the glass is accidentally thrown into the body, it may be discarded directly, and it is easy to be injured to clean up the broken glass.
Stainless steel water cups overcome the shortcomings of easy damage in materials, but the cup body itself is heavy, and the insulation of stainless steel water cups requires a vacuum layer, which greatly reduces the actual volume.
And the silica gel water cup, not only the cup is not easy to be damaged, but also the silica gel material itself is lighter, more convenient for us to carry. Silica gel material is heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant, even if it is loaded with hot water, it will not smell like plastic, and some of the thicker silica gel cups, because the heat transfer speed of silica gel is relatively slow, it has a certain degree of insulation, so the temperature difference between inside and outside of silica gel cups is still greater than that of ordinary glass cups, some cups on the market. Thicker silica gel water cup, even if the silica gel water cup is filled with hot water, outside we can feel the temperature acceptable to the human body, just like the feeling of a warm water bag, but in fact, the current silica gel water cup still does not have thermal insulation function. In our country where we like to drink more hot water, this can be said to be the only disadvantage of silica gel cups.
